Randersacker
Teufelskeller Bacchus Kabinett 2000
A crossing
of Silvaner and Riesling from vineyards high above the village.
Lots of fresh fruit – hints of apple and citrus fruit
– drink now. |

Robert Schmitt |
Although the
winery is renowned for its bone-dry white wines, we have unearthed
a real treasure with a medium sweet Spatlese. Bruno Schmitt’s
winemaking has followed his family traditions and we know
you will be pleased with the result. |

 |
Randersacker
Maarsberg Albalonga Spatlese 1999
This grape is only grown in tiny quantities.
It is a cross of Rieslander and Silvaner and the result is
an outstanding wine. Part of the crop has been "blessed"
with noble rot. Meticulous selection of the grapes and careful
winemaking ensures a superb wine. |

Randersacker
Maarsberg Albalonga Spatlese 1999
A cross
between Rieslaner and Silvaner, this grape is grown in minute
quantities. Smooth, with a honeyed grapefruit edge, this wine
will keep for many years yet |
|
| Castell |
Owned
by one of Germany’s oldest private banks (of the same
name) this estate of 41 hectares can trace it pedigree back
to 1253! Castell produces a wide range of wines, but we have
selected two, which we know you will enjoy. |

 |
Casteller
Hohnhart Reisling Kabinett 2000 Trocken
Dry German wine with good length and a delightful
hint of grapefruit. A classic. |
|
 |
Schloss
Castell Domina 1999 - Red
Full fruity
and smooth – a good all rounder with food. Again a wine
that will provide lots of interest – truly a "different"
type of wine. |

 |
| The only wine region in Bavaria (centred on the city of Wurzburg)
this area specialises in outstanding dry white wines (and
offers some superb sweet wines and excellent reds as well!). |
 |
| Franconian wines are not so well known outside Germany so
this is your only opportunity to try some treasures that would
normally be difficult to source. |
| Franconia
possesses a special climate, which is ideally suited for making full
fruit wines with refreshing acidity. |
|
|
So proud are the Franconian wine makers they use the centuries
old flagon shaped bottle known locally as a "bocksbeutel"
to ensure their wines are easily identifiable. This is bound
to be a conversation piece. |
| The
soils of the region are many and varied, but there is a true reflection
of Franconia's geology in its wines. This gives the wines a lovely
raciness. |
| Franconian
wines are ideal partners with a wide range of foods, or can be enjoyed
as a refreshing aperitif. |
| The
region also produces a small amount of red wine and we are delighted
to feature a wine made from the Domina grape – again another
rare find. |
 |
| There
is a true renaissance in German wines – this is your chance to
prove this excitement is not hype. |
